Ch. 101Taking the world by storm
Phones and other electronic devices spread across the shinobi world, bringing new business to the Hundred-Clan Shinobi Nation, the Land of Whirlpools, and Sunagakure. Uchiha Mu welcomed the success while acknowledging that the other villages were nearing their breaking point, and he explained that he had given Iwagakure room to recover for his own advantage in the coming war.
- Kumogakure arranged to negotiate with Kakuzu for the strange devices, then decided to fund its purchases by having shinobi disguise themselves as bandits and rob nobles and merchants.
- Phone shops opened throughout the Hundred-Clan Shinobi Nation, and daimyo, nobles, and merchants bought phones as useful communication tools spread across the world.

- Uchiha Mu discussed the phones' success and limited functions with Keiko Uzumaki at home as Uchiha Kyu and Uchiha Naoki returned from the Ninja Academy.
- Hyuga Lingnai praised Uchiha Mu's inventions, and he said their use depended on who held power.
- Keiko Uzumaki noted that the other villages were near their breaking point, and Uchiha Mu explained that he had given Iwagakure breathing room to preserve a balance of conflict for his own interests.
